Lyrics
Empty promises are not worth the words
Spoken in haste, and not what I heard
Broken promises, cause so much grief
(Be)cause when you speak,
I don?t know what to believe
(chorus)
All you do and all you say;
like leaves in the stream, they drift away.
Empty words, just say what you mean
So when you promise me, I want the real thing.
Empty promises, I feel so betrayed
I can?t trust you, to do what you say.
Broken promises, you tore my heart in two
You pulled the threads of my commitment to you.
(chorus)
(bridge)
I want to trust you, I want to trust you
I want to trust you, please let me trust you
(chorus)
